Colombian Voter Sentenced for Identity Theft | Jacksonville News

A Colombian man faces three years in prison and deportation after admitting to illegally voting in the 2020 U.S. election using a stolen identity — including forging documents to obtain a Florida driver’s license and a U.S. passport. He cast ballots in multiple local elections, including the pivotal 2020 presidential race, and pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft and falsely claiming citizenship. The judge sentenced him to two years for identity theft and one year for other felonies, while he waived deportation protections, paving the way for his return to Colombia. Authorities stress that such actions severely damage electoral integrity and will be met with serious legal consequences.
